Aunt, second aunt, and a few other ladies like Wu Yan were chatting while picking vegetables.
Around four in the afternoon, uncle and second uncle Luo Fei started preparing chicken, fish, and other dishes. The head chef was Uncle Wu Zhiwei, while Luo Fei and second uncle were helping out on the side. The aunts took a break, sat down, and chatted while munching on sunflower seeds and candy.
For some reason, in Ningjiang County, it seems that whenever there's a somewhat larger gathering, it's always the men who do the cooking.
At seven in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner and Luo Fei's promotion celebration officially began.
Luo Fei, uncle, and second uncle prepared a total of twelve dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, and meat. Uncle Wu Zhiwei's cooking skills were quite impressive. Luo Fei thought that if he didn't work at the pig farm anymore, opening a restaurant might not be a bad business venture.
